About the Winery:
Bodegas Hermanos Peciña was founded in 1992 by Pedro Peciña Crespo with his three children in a small winery located outside of San Vicente de la Sonsierra. Bodega Hermanos Peciña currently grows 50 Ha of their own vineyards in San Vicente de la Sonsierra and the surrounding area. These vineyards are located on the northeast side of the Ebro river, near the border of the Basque Alavesa zone. They fall at the foothills of the Sierra Cantabria Mountains at an average of 500 meters, and offer hillside expositions as well as complex and diverse soils.

Rioja’s traditional school of winemaking reigned from the 1850s until the 1980s, producing some of the world’s most consistently complex, soul-satisfying wines. But few of the historic bodegas have remained purely traditional. And today, apart from López de Heredia and La Rioja Alta, who is left to carry the torch of the past’s silky, Burgundian reds? Hermanos Peciña remains one of the most traditional wineries in Rioja.

Ratings & Reviews

94 Points - Wine Advocate:
"A more modern Gran Reserva from a single vineyard, the 2015 Finca Iscorta de Peciña Gran Reserva was produced with the grapes from a 50-year-old vineyard, fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel with a moderate extraction and short-ish maceration. It matured in used American oak barrels for four years and was racked every six months. It's a little darker, the color and the fruit profile, and it's intensely balsamic, with notes of camphor and abundant spicy notes. It's solid and seamless and fills your mouth; it's powerful with 15% alcohol and 6.2 grams of acidity, ripe but balanced. It should continue developing nicely in bottle. 16,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2020. Drink 2022-2032." - Luis Gutierrez (Feb 2024)

94 Points - Vinous Media:
"The 2015 Gran Reserva Finca Iscorta de Peciña is a blend of 95% Tempranillo, 3% Graciano and 2% Garnacha sourced from the Labastida area in Rioja Alavesa. Aged for 48 months in American oak barrels, this deeply hued wine reveals enticing aromas of plum, cherry, bay leaf and thyme, with subtle hints of coconut and vanilla. On the palate, it offers a dry, creamy and plush texture, characterized by a chalky mouthfeel that lingers with a satisfying clinginess. This well-balanced red showcases a New World approach. (Drink between 2024-2035)" - Joaquin Hidalgo (Apr 2024)
